Ever since Claire was in preschool and they created them as a class project, she's super into setting up Leprechaun traps for St. Patrick's Day. We read Tomie dePaola's St. Patrick book for historical context...and then I let them create their traps with fairly free reign (as long as I don't have to be involved). Here's this year's setup:
Front door instructions
Leprechaun restaurant
Snacks, sugar, and glitter to draw the leprechauns in
We have really cohesive St. Patrick's clothing for some sizes, and we're a little more, ahem, thrown together for others.
My mom sends fun cards and decorations (and often socks) that the girls love and delight in, and I usually have some gold-wrapped candy (mini Snickers, anyone?) for everyone. I have no idea how long Claire will be interested in Leprechaun traps, but I'll let her make them as long as she wants to.
